Please join us for the webinar "Addressing Hate on Campus: Strategies for Responding to the Increase in Bias and Hate Incidents on College Campuses," on Tuesday, February 26, at 2:00 p.m. in Bulger Communication Center 422.

The past several months have seen a dramatic uptick in incidents of racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, and overall divisiveness on college campuses across the United States. Joining higher education administrators, faculty, staff, and students in their concerns over this growing national trend, INSIGHT Into Diversity has partnered with ADL (formerly the Anti-Defamation League) to offer an in-depth discussion on ways to respond to and prevent these incidents. As the leading provider of anti-bias education, ADL will share its expertise in combating hate, protecting communities, and confronting discrimination.

Guest speaker Elissa Buxbaum, director of campus affairs for ADL, will address the following topics:

• National trends of bias and hate incidents on college campuses
• White supremacist efforts to target and recruit college students
• Managing controversial speakers while protecting First Amendment rights to free speech
• Creating and preparing incident response teams
• College resources and training offered by ADL

A question-and-answer session will follow the webinar.
